Hi,

 

You'll need to use your Recovery Media to reinstall Windows 7 - a guide on using this media to reinstall Windows is on the document below.

 

Performing A System Recovery - Windows 7.

 

If you don't have this, see if you can still order it from HP on the link below.

If this is no longer available from HP, you can still order this media from the 3rd party re-seller on the following link.
